IMPROVEMENT m GnArn-sn'PARAroR.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and shaking part ofthe same.

Ta'all whom 'it may concern Be it known that I, JOEL F. PLUM, of near Green castle, in the county of Franklin, and in the State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful chaff out at the same time;

In order to enable others skilled in the artto which my invention appertains, to make and use the same, i I will now proceed to describe its construction and operation, referring to the annexed drawings, which 'form apart of this specification, and in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation, and a Figure 2 is a plan view. f

A A represent two standards, of any suitable height, connected, near their upper ends, by means of a round Between the upper ends of the standards A' A, above the bar B, the stacker 0 is pivoted.

The stacker 0 consists of a box, open and both ends, and having at each end a roller, around which an endless apron, I), is placed. This stacker may be of any length desired-and being pivoted between the standards A A, can, of course, be raised orfllowered at pleasure, so as to carry the straw in the mow either right or left;

On the outer side of one of the standards A, are placed two pulleys, a a, one above the other,as seen in fig. 1.

A belt or rope, 1), passes around we, around a pulley, which one ofthe end rollers in the stacker 0 is placed.

The rope I) also passes around a pulley, (1,0I1 a shaft, '0, which passes through that part of the separator where the straw comes out, and is turned bya crank, E.

F represents the part of the separator referred to.

My machine is so placed, that when the straw comes out of the separator it will fall on the apron D, and, by the crank E, the apron is set in motion, so as to carry the straw either to the right or left, as maybe desired.

At the same time, the pulleys f and 7:, connected by the rope a, carry the chaff out of the barn.

Having thus fully described my. invention,

\Vhat I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

the two pulleys ruary, 1869.
